Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cake)

Lately I have been falling in love with Korean food, particularly with rice cake. I wasn’t a big fan of chilli food before I met IK, it was him who introduced me Chilli food~ It was a tough one initially, especially that when your tongue is about to burst and sweat are running down your cheeks! But after a while it seems that your body get used to it and you’ll end up loving chilli food! Korean rice cake is one of those starchy goodies that I love! I’ve never been to Korea but I always believe that it is a beautiful city, and the food is amazing! Like any other Asian countries, street food is the #1 adventure that must be visited if you are a tourist (well, at least that’s what my friends told me).

떡볶이 (Korean spicy rice cake) is a popular Korean snack food made from soft rice cake, fish cake and sweet red chili sauce! Though, I added an extra bit of mushroom, onions, and sesame! Yum! The traditional way of making this dish is through a nice anchovies fish broth~ anyhow I ran out of time to buy anchovies, so I end up using chicken stock, which might not be too authentic, but it’s as good as it taste!
